Posted - 29/10/2017 : 00:11:28 For me the second half of the 60s was as much about British Blues (as opposed to what I call authentic blues) as it was psychedelia. Keef Hartley was the drummer with John Mayall's Blues Band until he was sacked in 1968, whereupon he formed the Keef Hartley Band. This track, Born To Die, is from their excellent 1969 album, Halfbreed. Keef and his band played at Woodstock in 1969 but were the only act there whose act was not recorded for either the film or any soundtrack of the festival - apparently Keef's manager refused filming consent as Martin Scorese wouldn't provide any money up front, and so the recording equipment was switched off, which in hindsight was probably a bit of a tragedy for Keef. The guitar solo is by Ian Cruickshank who subsequently became a leading exponent of Django Rheinhardt style gypsy jazz, which in some ways is a bit sad because he played a mean blues guitar.

This sort of music perhaps takes me back more than any other to those fabulous 60s years.

Scottish and European, not British.

Meanwhile, you don't get concerts like this nowadays. Back in 1965, sharing the same stage, two songs each, a host of top bands including The Moody Blues, the Stones, the Kinks, Dusty Springfield, Freddie and the Dreamers, Herman Hermits, Cilla Black, The Seekers, Georgie Fame, Wayne Fontana, Donovan, Them, The Searchers, The Animals and The Beatles, and no doubt some others who I've forgotten. Unfortunately the execrable Jimy Savill is also there. I remember thinking at the time that The Seekers were really square, but Judith Durham has such a terrific voice.
